Back by popular demand, here are some AI-generated drawing prompts to use in this, the spooky month of October! Longtime AI Weirdness readers may recognize some of these. That’s because this is a throwback list, all the way back to the times of very tiny language models. These models had not feasted on huge chunks…
There’s an anonymous facebook posting that’s been making the rounds, in which a studio art director tried to hire AI prompters to make art, only to discover that they were completely unable to carry out minor revision requests. Asked to remove a person from a shot or fix perspective errors, the prompters would return completely…
Do you know those autostereograms with the hidden 3D pictures? Images like the Magic Eye pictures from the 1990s that look like noisy repeating patterns until you defocus your eyes just right? ChatGPT can generate them! At least according to ChatGPT. I’ve seen people try making Magic Eye-style images with other image generating models, but…
Hey look, it’s a guide to basic shapes! Prompt: “Please generate a colorful guide to basic geometric shapes, as an aid to children learning to identify basic shapes.” Not only does it have the basic shapes like circle, tringle, hectanbie, and sqale, it also has some of the more advanced shapes like renstqon, hoboz, and…
Hey kids! What sound does a woolly horse-sheep make? The image above is what you get when you ask dalle-3 (via chatgpt) for some basic educational material: “Please generate an illustrated poster to help children learn which sounds common animals make. Each animal should be pictured with a speech bubble spelling out the animal’s sound.”…
I’ve experimented a couple of times with generating candy heart messages using various kinds of machine learning algorithms. Originally, short messages were just about all the original text-generating neural networks could handle. Now we’ve come back around to approximately the same performance, yet with orders of magnitude more computational resources consumed. (although I don’t have…
So much of current AI-generated stuff is derivative sludge that I’m enjoying the pockets of weirdness where I find them. One of my favorite things right now: DALL-E3’s attempts to label things in the images it generates. Here I asked “Please generate a cross section of a gourmet chocolate with each layer labeled.” I was…
